Using Safeguard Check
Malicious hosts on the network could attack the Switch through various
methods (for example, packet flooding). To overcome this situation, D-View
uses
Safeguard Engine to protect switches from malicious traffic flood. This
minimizes the workload of the switch during the attack. The Switch, therefore,
is capable of forwarding essential packets even during limited bandwidths.
By default, the safeguard status of all devices is disabled.
To configure the safeguard status:
1. Go to Application > Batch Config > Run Batch
Or
In the opened topology select the device and right-click and select
Run
Batch .
The Run Batch screen displays. You can now enable or disable the devices’
Safeguard Engine.
